Emily Sharp, a senior integrated strategic communications major at UK, won the Traditions T design contest, awarding her a $500 prize and five Traditions T-shirts.
Sharp said she learned about the contest when she was a freshman, and finally took the initiative this year to enter.
The front of her shirt shows the state of Kentucky, with the words “I am part of it” overlaid.
The back of the shirt is the UK symbol and eight lines of text, reading, “I am part of a tradition of excellence. More than fans … We’re a family. A community. We are leaders. We are scholars. We have character & class. We have southern hospitality. We are the BIG BLUE NATION. And I am part of it.”
“Thanks to a little encouragement from family and friends, I submitted a shirt,” Sharp said. “I’m so grateful for those kind words; they gave me the extra push I needed.”
